Ordinary fantasy adventure in Faerûn

Chapter 604 The visitor

After returning to the Field of Thorns, the Beast Spirit immediately picked up Bafomie's broadsword and gave it to Noshir. This artifact broadsword could be said to be one of his greatest gains on this trip. With the divine hammer [Matalotok] in front of him, Noshir had high expectations for this broadsword, but it was not until he actually got his hands on it that he realized that this was not the case.

"this thing……"

Nosir frowned. Through the perception of his own divine power and the depiction on the panel, he discovered the flaws of this artifact. Because this artifact was truly born in the hands of Bafomie, it also has similar limitations as Nosir's King's Holy Axe, that is, it can only be used by specific people.

Although such restrictions are not as harsh as those of his King's Holy Axe, and can only be used by himself and those recognized by him, this artifact is a truly evil artifact. If its holder wants to fully unleash its capabilities, he must constantly meet the requirements of the chaotic evil camp. He must also be a follower of the Lord of Beasts, or have received its blessing, so that he can fully use the capabilities of this artifact.

If the above conditions are not met and it is forcibly used, the Heart-Splitting Sword will subtly change the good or evil tendencies of its holder, eventually leading to the holder's complete depravity. However, for Noshil, who has been promoted to a quasi-divine power, he is actually immune to this negative trait. But even if he is immune, Noshil cannot truly unleash the full power of this sword.

Nosir shook his head regretfully. It seemed that the final fate of this broadsword would be the same as the Crown of Karsus, which would be one of his most precious collections. Well, in this case, it was not particularly a pity. After all, he had no shortage of main-hand weapons. As artifacts, this [Heart-Splitting] was far inferior to the [Matalotok] carefully crafted by the God of Frost Giants. So even if he had to choose a secondary weapon to fight, Nosir would only choose Matalotok, not Heart-Splitting.

After putting the big knife into his personal space, Noshir turned his gaze to Bafomei who was lying on the ground and dying. This guy clearly had the opportunity to escape, but he insisted on turning back to die. Although he had already guessed the reason why Bafomei deliberately turned back here, it did not prevent him from sighing at the devil's greed.

"What should I do with you, you greedy fellow?"

Noshir looked at the broken limbs of Bafomei and thought about how to deal with this monster. Due to the special nature of the demon lord, he knew that even if he killed Bafomei here, the monster's soul would be recalled by the power of the abyss and then resurrected at his own level.

In order to save their own lives, these demon lords have put a lot of effort into this. Although Noshir has achieved the quasi-divine power of the middle level, he has no good way to prevent Bafomie from resurrecting. He can only try to forcibly capture its fleeing soul at the moment of killing it, and then annihilate it with his own divine power.

But to be honest, Noshir, who possesses the All-Seeing Eye, knows very well how exaggerated the escape speed of the soul will be after the death of the body. In battle, he has seen countless scenes of souls returning to the abyss or hell. If the data on the panel is used to describe the speed of the soul leaving the body, even the soul of an ordinary demon can move at a speed of at least 36 points of agility.

This seems to be a rule unique to the abyss, which makes it difficult for people to conduct too in-depth research on the souls of demons or devils. Noshil is sure that even he cannot forcibly interfere with the rules of the abyss, or even if the interference is successful, the consequences of attracting the attention of the abyss will definitely not be good.

"This is a bit troublesome. Killing you directly is the same as sending you back to life. I feel like it's too easy for you. But it's too much trouble to find a safe enough place to detain you..."

Noshir rubbed his chin, but for a moment, he couldn't think of a good enough way to deal with this evil beast. It seemed that the best option was to kill it on the spot. "...Forget it, let's do it this way."

Noshir shook his head and without hesitation, he immediately raised his hand to summon the Frost Father [Matalotok], and was about to bring down a hammer to explode the monster's brain.

But just before he was about to take action, Noshir's extraordinary perception ability suddenly sensed something strange around him, which made him stop what he was doing and use his divine power to amplify his perception in an attempt to find the source of the abnormality. And just as Noshir had just made this gesture.

Snap—Snap—Snap.

A burst of crisp applause suddenly came from the gap in the shadow of the giant thorns, and then there was a voice full of magic and strange charm.

"What a sharp reaction, just like a vigilant rabbit. Even the slightest sound of scales scraping against the ground when a poisonous snake approaches can be captured by its narrow and fragile ears. However, when the rabbit enters the territory of the poisonous snake, no matter how sharp its perception is, how can the weak rabbit change its fate of being doomed to die in the snake's mouth?"

Noshier immediately locked his sight on the shadow. His powerful vision instantly broke through the darkness and disguise, and he could clearly see the human figure in the shadow. At this moment, the human figure that was originally hiding in the darkness also walked out of the shadow.

It was a devil wearing a gorgeous crimson robe with golden threads. He had grayish-white skin, scarlet eyes, a neat short beard, two short horns protruding forward on his forehead, and a pair of huge red horns that bent backwards but were unusually smooth growing behind his head. His palms were full of sharp claws, which were constantly flapping, and he kept saying some incomprehensible words.

But the moment he saw him, Noshil's pupils shrank instantly. He recognized the devil in front of him. Before Noshil subdued Gargoyle, he had observed the image of the devil in front of him countless times in his mind. And the devil in front of him was Gargoyle's biggest nightmare in his life!

"...This is really strange, it's like a venomous snake and a rabbit, and it sounds better than singing. But if you just want to threaten me, there's no need to beat around the bush, Asmodeus."

The figure walked out completely from the shadow of the thorns, and at that moment, his applause also dissipated, and Asmodeus had a smile on his lips that made people feel extremely uncomfortable.

"It's a bit rude to just say someone's name like that."
